•Designed, instrumented, and characterized (PSF, noise) interferometric optical systems for bio/nano‑imaging and detection.
•Developed mid‑infrared photothermal microscopy (spectroscopic) at nano‑scale resolution and sensitivity and formulated signal theory.
•Developed optical (pupil engineering) and computational imaging techniques (PSF engineering) to improve sensitivity and resolution.
•Formulated physical optics based forward model for the interferometric scattering signal and implemented image reconstruction algorithms.
•Implemented hardware automation and control software on Python for high‑speed and synchronized image acquisition.
•Worked in cross‑cultural groups and closely collaborated with cross‑functional scientists.
•Closely worked with a series B startup (Nanoview Biosciences) since its early stage and vitally contributed to get $ 750K NSF SBIR phase II grant.
